The Watcher is Teddy.	None	+ Teddy and "The Watcher" wear similar clothing (hats and pink shirts) and have similar facial hair. + When Teddy made a cart disappear (Tabula Rasa), he did it in front of the ball toss game. The Watcher is the ball toss attendant. + Teddy's ability allows him to hide things. The Watcher mysteriously pops out of nowhere, perhaps being able to make himself disappear. - Teddy's ability appears similar to dimensional storage. That wouldn't explain how he could appear and disappear in literally the blink of an eye. + In chapter 7 of Slow Burn, the Watcher made Jennie Bowman inaudible and invisible. This seems like a possible application of cloaking. - Similar effects, different abilities. - They have different abilities. + Teddy could have manipulated Sylar's eyes to make it seem as though the cart disappeared. - Samuel would know if this wasn't Teddy's ability. + Teddy could have manipulated everyone into believing this was his ability. + Nothing suggests that Samuel does not know what Teddy's ability is. - The Watcher claims that every wept when they discovered he was gone but gradually accepted it. The carnies still know Teddy is around. + He never stated who wept for him. It could have been his family, at a time before he joined the carnival.
